The express lanes on the Kennedy Expressway are set to return to normal for the Monday morning rush, offering relief to inbound commuters for the first time since the lanes were made outbound-only in the spring for construction.
The announcement by the Illinois Department of Transportation follows the reopening of all outbound Kennedy lanes on Sunday as construction crews wrap up the final days of the three-year expressway overhaul.
But construction work will continue through late October on several outbound ramps.
The Wilson Avenue exit ramp is set to close Monday night for an estimated two weeks. The currently closed outbound Kennedy ramp to Division Street should reopen in mid-October. And the Ontario Street feeder ramp to the outbound Kennedy will be shut down in the next week or two.
State officials say they’re on track to finish expressway construction weeks before a Thanksgiving Day deadline.
Work also will continue through next summer on the Ohio Street and Ontario Street ramps for an unrelated project, according to the transportation department. Two lanes are open in each direction between Orleans Street and the Kennedy.
